Sign 6 of 12
Virgo
Virgo is the harvest: sorting what is useful from what is not. It is precise, practical and helpful, notices what others miss, and can turn that eye on itself.
Virgo pairs the Earth element with the Mutable mode. In the tropical zodiac the Sun passes through it from 23 August to 22 September.
In the sidereal zodiac used by Vedic astrology the same 30° sit about 24° further on, so the Sun is there from about 17 September to 16 October.
